There was a knock at the door and the tears continued to fall for a little while. Le sent gifts over for both Gia and my mother with the most beautiful notes. He sent my mother a pendant, knowing her affliction for jewelry and he sent Gia a personalized snow globe. It's a little bit bigger and on the inside was a revolving fairy.

"Okay, no more tears please. We need to finish getting ready." I said, trying to stop crying myself.

"God, all of you are such mushes and you're making me a mush." Reyna cried.

"I love you too." I told her.

"Can we finish getting ready?" Joelle asked.

"Almost, I have a gift for you." I told her.

"For me?" she asked.

"Yes, here chiquita."

She opened the box excitedly, shouting when she pulled her little butterfly pendant out of the box. She made her grandma put it on right away before going to get dressed.

"What on earth did you do?" Reyna asked while Cassie and Mel got Jo dressed.

"I don't know what you're talking about." I smiled, watching her smile over her pendant.

"That's one expensive pink butterfly." she insisted.

"How much was that?" Lisa asked me

"How much was that?" Lisa asked me.

"It was a gift, a butterfly for my mariposita." I told them.

"What is it?" Reyna asked, shaking her head at me.

"Pink and white gold, pink sapphires, and diamonds."

"The hell? She's only 7 and she's got more ice than I could ever dream of." she scoffed.

"You want some ice?" I asked, smiling.

"No way." she said, shock on her face.

"The box by the pillow is yours. I couldn't forget the sister-in-law who hated me at first." I said, laughing when she ran off.

"You spoil my children." Lisa muttered, wrapping her arms around my waist.

"You spoiled me in the biggest manner ever, you've given me the greatest gift in the world. Not only do I get a husband but I get the most beautiful daughter. The best thing that Galina did for her was give up custody and now she's ours, totally ours."

"That little girl has been yours since the day you met. You've loved her more in the past year and a half than her mother did in all of her life. We are all lucky to have found each other, welcome to our family." Lisa said.

"Loʻu aiga." I told her.

"Loʻu aiga." she repeated. (my family)

"Let's go get ready."
